I found this article very helpful in teaching me about the importance of technology in the classroom. The article talked about how significant technology is for students to achieve academic goals. There are many ways to intergrade technology into the classroom. One of my favorite ways is to use a classroom blog. There are so many benefits to having a classroom blog. First off, classroom blogs allow for a teacher to publish students work online. When students see their own work, on the internet they get so excited. This is also a great way to show parents what their children are doing in the classroom. You are also able to post videos, images, links and audio onto a blog. A blog also allows for students to reflect and share their opinions on the blog. They are able to express themselves however they want to, when posting on a blog. Blogging allows social constructivism among the class.

There can be some negatives of intergrading technology into the classroom. For example, technology can be very limited at some schools. This makes it difficult for teachers to intergrade technology into the classroom when they do not have the proper things. There is also the possability of students coming across inappropriate websites. That is why it is very important to locating many different child-friendly websites and bookmark them.

Overall, this was a great article that taught me a lot about technology. I was able to look at many examples of websites and blogs. It was good to see all of the different ways you can go about bringing technology into your own classroom.
